Error spotting — logical comparison: Choose the erroneous part (A/B/C) — mark D if correct — 'The charges in this hospital / are less than / the hospital near my house. / No error'

Given data

• Comparison target must be logically parallel: charges vs. charges.

Concept/Approach: Parallel structure in comparisons
'Charges … are less than the hospital' is illogical (fees vs. a building). We must compare charges with charges: '…less than those in the hospital near my house' or '…less than the charges in the hospital near my house.'

Step-by-step correction
1) Supply a parallel noun: 'those (charges) in…'2) Correct: 'The charges in this hospital are less than those in the hospital near my house.'

Common pitfalls
Omitting the repeated noun in comparisons and creating mismatched categories.

Final Answer
Part C is erroneous; fix the comparison target ('those in the hospital near my house').
